QuestionAnswer
fractional focal spot sizes must be used for magnification technique
larger focal spot size results in smaller umbral shadows
for digital radiography, the final degree of sharpness ik the displayed image is limited not only by the focal spot size but also by pixel size
for an ap foot positioned w the thickest part to the radiographers left, which of the following could contribute to mottle in the cr or dr image anode heel effect
if the focal spot is very much larger than the anatomy or pathology of interest the image of the anatomy can be caused to disappear
smaller focal spot size causes less blur
due to their different points of origin within the focal spot, the gradient partial absorption of x-rays as a function of the total absorption within an anatomical structure is capable of defined geometrical penumbra
typical range of anode bevel angles for general purposes diagnostic xray tube is 15-17 degree
size of the effective or projected focal spot is it’s size as measured from the viewpoint of the image receptor
w all factors unchanged, if the focal spot is decreased, magnification in image will not change at all
w all factors unchanged, if the focal spot size is increased fhe overall exposure level at the ir will not chnage at all
exactly doubling the focal spot size will cause the spread of penumbra to double
focal spot is directly responsible for the production of geometrical penumbra in the image bc x-rays can be emitted at various angles from different points within in
steeper (more vertical) anode bevel angles cause more severe anode heel effect
damage to the surface of the anode focal track can directly affect the sharpness of detail, spatial resolution
a radiograph is slightly sharper at the cathode end then anode end bc line focus principle
anode bevel angle is used to reduce the projedyed focal spot size relative to the actual spot size, thereby improving sharpness of detail heat load on the anode disc line focus principle
severity of the anode heel effect when using fractional focus spots in angiography equipment imposes a limit on the length of receptor plates that can be practically used

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
